Kagurabachi Chapter 132 faces an unexpected hiatus ahead of the Seitei War arc’s next chapter

Fans who had been waiting to watch Kagurabachi Chapter 132 were taken aback when this manga series went on a sudden break. Turns out there is going to be an unexpected delay because the creator, Takeru Hokazono, was unwell. This report came directly from Shueisha, and this update has caused the readers to be worried about the creator's well-being.

Lately, Kagurabachi manga has been gaining momentum as the story heads towards the Seitei War flashback arc. It was the very event that shaped the story around the enchanted blade and the major conflicts surrounding the present-day storyline that took place in part one of the manga.

However, readers will have to wait a little longer for the next installment. The creator taking a sudden break has raised concern among manga readers because Hokazono has taken a long break once before from this series due to health issues.

While the latest update does give us confirmation that the creator has recovered, taking a break like this has brought up questions around the demanding schedule that a mangaka needs to keep up with in recent times. According to the official announcement, the Kagurabachi manga was scheduled to be part of the combined Weekly Shonen Jump Issue.

Originally, it was supposed to be ready to go on sale on September 14, 2026. But naturally, it has now been postponed due to the author's sudden health issues. There is a silver lining in this news update, and that is the fact that Hokazono has recovered.

Kagurabachi Chapter 132 will now be released on September 28, 2026. Some readers might notice that this means the series will be on a two-week gap. This time, the extended break is because the following week is a scheduled magazine break associated with a holiday period in Japan.

Why Kagurabachi Chapter 132’s delay has fans concerned

The announcement has sparked speculation about whether Hokazono’s health could lead to more frequent breaks in the future. However, there is currently no official information suggesting that the Kagurabachi creator is facing a long-term health crisis or that the manga will enter an extended hiatus.

The latest update specifically states that Hokazono has recovered. Therefore, readers should avoid treating speculation about his condition as confirmed news. Nevertheless, the concern is understandable, and in recent times, readers have gotten more empathetic towards a creator's health and well-being.

Weekly manga serialization is known for its intense deadlines, and creators often have to balance story development, artwork, editorial revisions, and publication schedules. Fans have also discussed whether the demanding workload could affect Hokazono’s ability to maintain a consistent release schedule.

The most important takeaway is that the creator’s health should come first. A short delay is preferable to an unfinished chapter or a rushed installment that could negatively affect Kagurabachi manga’s quality.

For now, those who have been waiting to get a little sneak peek at the upcoming Chapter 132 will also have to be patient because no official preview or confirmed plot details have been revealed in the provided announcement. Any theories and predictions that have been circulating throughout all social media platforms about Ibuki’s role or the next stage of the flashback remain speculation.

In the end, Kagurabachi readers will have to wait until September 28 for the manga’s return. In the meantime, fans can look forward to Hokazono’s recovery and hope the additional rest allows him to continue the story at a healthy and sustainable pace.
